Years ago I had a gym membership and the club did not fulfill their contract, so I quit and it was a huge hassle to get them to stop billing me. So when I joined Downtown Athletic club this was the first question I asked. I signed up for 6 months and paid in advance. I was told this would be a one time charge as I was not going to be in town after that time. However I was charged at the beginning of my 6th month, at a higher rate than I was originally quoted had I paid monthly rather than 6 months up front. When I phoned to discuss, the rep interrupted me every time I tried to speak and treated me like I was some sort of trash. The gym itself is nice and clean, but not a lot of stations for serious weight training during busy times. I didn't care for the pressure to use the personal trainers. I actually stopped going before my membership was up because the trainer I used one time made me feel uncomfortable. I wish I never would have joined, I feel scammed.
